TLDR summary
Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, profits from ads tied to political violence, including assassination attempts and global conflicts.
After violent events, companies and organizations often buy ads related to these incidents, generating millions in revenue for Meta. For example, after an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, advertisers spent up to $813,000 on related merchandise ads.
Meta also saw a 450% increase in ad spending after the October 7th Israel attack compared to the previous year.
Despite Meta’s policies against inciting violence, it continues to profit from such ads, raising concerns about the company’s role in spreading harmful content.
Who cares. I am making bank on their stock.
He certainly isn’t going to protect anyone from disinformation. So why the gripes about censorship? He also knows China steals are tech and his hands up approach is expected.
Facebook is a total garbage heap, it’s all Fox News Boomers and the people that make a living off of scamming them. The only thing keeping people from constantly talking about how shit Facebook is the fact that Elon’s ongoing public meltdown has made Twitter into a relatively brighter burning and causticly aromatic dumpster fire.
Zuckerberg should be treated as the menace to society that he is. He’s part of the reason so many Americans have gone insane. He’s known about the foreign influence campaigns from Russia and China since before 2016.
Can we please keep political crap off of here
